Dementia: Predispositions, Myths and Minimisations.

My short presentation entitled Dementia: Predispositions, Myths and Minimisations to the Coffs Harbour Branch of National Seniors Australia, outlined an overview of a preventative approach to addressing Alzheimer’s and Dementia related conditions. The central focus of my presentation was the central role that our cellular system plays in human development and the minimisations of dementia related conditions.

Over the last 30 years, I have been involved in theoretical and practical work and research programmes into strategies that attempt to address issues associated with aging, such as frailty, loss of cognitive abilities and social connectedness etc.

During the presentation I shared basic insights into the prevention of Dementia and related conditions.

I started by saying, “Firstly let me set the scene by asking all of you some basic underlying questions”:

Are Dementia related conditions only an aging dilemma?

Is it something, such as a disease, that anyone can catch?

Does it randomly float around striking down people?

...And can it be avoided?

Now for an insight into my DRC Prevention Strategies

Start early and start now by following a preventative approach.

The approach has to involve an Integrative and Interlinked Perspective. You may feel that you do not have the time to do this, so follow my lead in, ‘Connecting the dots’...

You will need to be disciplined. For example, no simple carbohydrates, which means no soft drinks, alcohol and products made with white flour, such as biscuits!

Exercise needs to be regular and consistent with varying levels of intensity, for example, including weights.

Diet, exercise, social connectedness, emotional and cognitive development need to all be inter-linked and any proactive routines have to be operated together daily!

Some Insights into an Interlinked-Integrated approach.

My approach suggests understanding of the role and purpose of your cellular structural system is essential in order to help to avoid Dementia related conditions.
My approach states:

The body’s cells are the basic structural and functional units that make up the body, and they form the basis of whether our health will be sustainable into our older years.

Given that our cells and their reactions play a central role in sustaining life and the building of the body’s structural and functional components, would we not be too surprised that we are creating a potentially negative condition. Destructive elements, consisting of wrong dietary choices, minimal movement, poor breathing techniques, disruptive social contexts, cognitive challenges and toxic environmental factors affect the integrity of our cellular structure. This also includes influences of adverse chemical and electromagnetic forces.

Other elements that were featured included the vital importance of sunlight on the human body and this is during a period when more mature citizens have been conditioned to adopt a, ‘sun avoidance’, cover-up approach. This is at time in people’s lives when the production of the vitamin D, (hormone) forms one of the central parts of an interlinked dementia minimisation strategy.

The audience were also reminded that because the quality of foods are compromised by being grown in in nutrient-poor soil containing pesticides and heavy metals, our focus should be to obtain our dietary needs from sustainable organic sources and from farm animals raised in natural environments free of antibiotics and hormones.

With all the chemicals, fertilisers, food preservatives, colour enhancers, stabilisers, sweeteners and foods which are mass- produced and packaged in huge factory complexes and stored in artificial environments, no wonder cancers of various types are on the rise because of Cellular malfunction and cell damage.
